TPBM
I'd love to do it sometime in the future.TPBM is about to eat.
Finished about an hour ago.TPBM will be working late again tomorrow.
I don't have a job, but I'll probably be up late doing homework.TPBM is experiencing rain where they live right now.
Earlier this morning, but now mixed sun and cloud.TPBM likes to carry a journal with them.
No. I save my journaling for the end of the day. TPBM has a tendency to eat food in pairs (ie. two cookies, to slices of pizza)
Nope, but I had a pear for supper after paring it down and paring it with toast with almond butter.TPBM prefers almond butter over peanut butter.
I love both, so I will have either or both. TPBM loves cream cheese danishes
I haven't tried them, but I am sure I would!TPBM loves ricotta cheese and lemon muffins.
I like them both individually, but I don't want to try them together. TPBM wonders why it's been so quiet on the WSS recently.
I have. [And the muffin I had made with ricotta and lemon was one of the best I've tasted. And I am on a course right now that is keeping me less active.]TPBM has never heard of ayurvedic theory of health.
Never heard of it. Did you make it up or is it legitimately a thing?When TPBM is really sick, they are constantly looking around the room for a place to vomit that will minimize damage.
I've never been that sick. Wait... I think I might have but that had me being in pain a lot and didn't involve projectile vomiting. Thankfully. TPBM was unproductive over the weekend.
Nope. I have finished day 3 of an intense course! [It is a real thing and I plan on making some soon! They were so good!
TPBM has invented his/her own recipe.
I suppose so...? If by invent a recipe you mean throwing ingredients together on a whim and ending up with something edible. When TPBM feels indecisive about their meals, they sometimes choose based on what food group they haven't had yet.
Lol! Nope. What an interesting idea. [Nope, that's not what I meant as a 'recipe'.]The last food that TPBM likes to eat off his/her plate is his/he's favourite.
Oh yes. That's something that I've been doing since I was a kid. Won't stop that anytime soon. TPBM loves songs even though they don't understand the language. [For example I love Modern Times by IU. FYI, it's Korean.]
Yes, I have a lot of music like that.TPBM wishes they knew a language with a different type of alphabet/character system, but thinks it's intimidating.
Yes, I've want to learn Japanese, but been afraid to commit to it. TPBM loves rain.
I do. I live in a temperate rainforest so it's love it or drown in it.TPBM saw likes fly fishing.
I've only heard of fly fishing from the cartoons I've watched growing up. Haven't tried it yet. So saying no for now. [By the way, a temperate rainforest sounds awesome.]
TPBM is a fan of "Have I Got News For You".
I've never heard of it, so I can't say if I'd like it. TPBM wonders why earwax is yellow.
Lol! Not really, although I did wonder at being considered a natural remedy for cold sores.TPBM prefers natural remedies to modern medicine.
This is a tough one. I have to say not but to be honest it's partly. I prefer yoga and meditation for stress and more natural remedies for the cold. But not so much for more serious stuff.TPBM loves instrumental versions of songs.
Yes, I usually download both versions when I can find them.TPBM loves the feeling of schadenfreude.
No, I don't derive pleasure from another's misfortunes, unless that person has the ability to laugh at them, too.TPBM did not see the short-lived but fantastic TV Series Wonderfalls, which is filled with double ironical schadenfreudes and synchronicities.
I've never seen Wonderfalls, so no. TPBM watched the premier of the show "Blind Spot" a few days ago.
Sadly I haven't.TPBM finds spoonerisms funny.
I am not sure what those are.TPBM sometimes goes onto Youtube to find a funny video!
No, I do not. [Hello CJ!)TPBM has read 1984 and sees that our age has many parallels to it.
It's one of the books I'm reading now but I know of the parallels. TPBM has read Fahrenheit 451 and hopes that a future like that should never happen.
I have read only part of it. For some reason the writing and/or ideas never appealed to me, and I didn't have as assigned reading.TPBM enjoys the music of Bob Marley.
I'm fairly indifferent to it exactly. TPBM can help me think of things/animals that are orange.
An orange?TPBM actually knows an animal that's orange apart from the poison dart frogs from South America.
Yes. Tabby cats.TPBM thinks that the name 'Orangutan' suits the animal so named.
Nope. Beautiful clear weather and took a look. I was, sadly, too busy to set up for photos.TPBM has noticed that their mood general shifts with the phases of the moon.
Not really. TPBM wonders if the above comment means Guy is a werewolf.
Sadly no. Dinner was a sub from Subway. [I'm very jealous Al!]
TPBM is excited about the news of water on Mars.
Missing would imply we had snow, but sadly I live in Phoenix. TPBM has never seen snow in real life.
Never.TPBM has never experienced real cold.
It's basically the same weather here (Jamaica) as it was in the summer. Not much deference. I think that means I love Autumn?TPBM is thirsty.
(Goodnight all! It was nice TPBMing with you :) )
Not thirsty per se. I need coffee so that I can stay awake through the night. Yet another all-nighter. (Good night Lee-lette!)
TPBM wants chocolate.
Not any more, I had some high quality organic chocolate with candied ginger and pecans earlier! OMG! so good.TPBM likes to roast pumpkin to make cakes and muffins.
[Good luck with the all-nighter Deepak. :-) ]
I like to have pumpkin rolls with cream cheese frosting inside. Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM looked up "A Pillow of Winds" by Pink Floyd on You Tube and was in a relaxed state of mind after listening to it.
No, I'm listening to Sara Lov on CBC Radio's 'The Signal'. TPBM is going to write a poem for this week's contest starting now.
I wish. I'm here sitting, designing lenses and listening to music. [Thank you Guy! I need loads of luck]
TPBM likes teaching.
Teaching would be nice if the other person would actually learn something. But as it is, I have no command over my students whatsoever.The only accent TPBM can imitate is a British one.
